And Alabamians may be buying it. After several polls last week showing Jones opening up as much as an 8-point lead, a new poll out today has Moore back up by 2.

Wish they linked to the crosstabs. According to the accompanying story, "Among party lines, nearly half (48%) of Republican voters surveyed do not believe the allegations. Another 24% of Republicans say they believe some or all of the allegations, but it has not changed their vote."

Dunno if they asked the question that earlier poll had, about whether they believed the allegations and whether that made them MORE likely to vote for Moore.

I don't know what the hell is going on with the polls. I think everybody who really cares about how they'll vote in the election has been tossed into chaos and minor variations in time or wording are now producing drastically different results.

Which...is probably good for Jones? It's more of a chance than he had before.

Probably wouldn't read too much into it yet, the polls can be all over the place.

Still just being two points below Moore in Alabama (or any other deep red state for that matter) is pretty dang good performance for Democrats in that environment, and I'm gonna guess that 2 points is within the margin of error for that poll.

I think better to compare that poll to the same poll's results earlier. Prior two polls from same organizaiton gave Moore an 11 point lead. Now it's down to 2. Moore is hurting even if polls can't decide if he's dead yet.

To skip over a few pages and go back to an earlier point because Thor dammit the idea popped in my head as a result of the "we need a nuclear meme exchange" discussion so now you bastards get to enjoy it too: covfefe is the pet name Trump uses for Putin when they get together so Putin can put on an Ivanka mask, dress like her, and pee on Trump.

It's no good unless Putin sings "happy birthday Mr President" a la Marilyn Monroe in the above scenario.

...you're right, but I hate you for that.

Praise Mammon.

What were we talking about again?

Praise Mammon.

IA! IA! The Dragon!
His scales as as hard as his heart.
Pity him!

[wierd]

Mammon is the god of money, or rather the spirit of greed for money.  Worshiping the almighty dollar/putting profit (shareholder value) first is defacto worship of mammon.

Not sure how dragons fit into this.

[Digital Hellhound]

It’s a Kill Six Billion Demons reference - that Mammon is a greedy dragon god-king (god-banker?) found here in the background. Not the first time dragons have been associated with greed, no?
